"We know how to win as a team" - Dylan Groenewegen enjoys full support from Jayco AlUla at UAE Tour

Team Jayco AlUla has confirmed its selection for UAE Tour, starting next Monday. The Australian team counts on Dylan Groenewegen in sprints giving him all the support possible. The Irishman Eddie Dunbar should then give it his best shot for the final classification.

Groenewegen kicked off his season with a victory in Spain and was therefore ambitios coming into AlUla Tour, where an illness stopped him. "The start of the year was nice, but the illness was a shame," he says in a press release. "For now I feel fully recovered and ready to race again in the UAE Tour."

"The level of the sprinters here is very high, but we know how to win as a team," says Groenewegen. "We showed that last year and I am confident that it can be done again. Elmar Reinders and Luka Mezgec will be there, but Kelland O'Brien has also been added to the lead-out. So we still have a strong team. So we are ready."
